Download or read book Tricks to Tunes Violin Book 3 written by Audrey Akerman and published by Flying Start. This book was released on 2003 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This set of tutors is designed for teaching mixed string instruments in groups. It is a systematic program developed over many years. The tutors are aimed at the upper primary / lower secondary school age group, but are also suitable for older beginners. The children learn 'tricks' for their fingers or bows, which are fun when done in a group. Reading skills are developed at the same time. Each page represents a small step in musical and technical development based on reading music from the very first lessons. Theory homework is included at the end of most sections. Book 3 provides material for two years of tuition, although progress will vary according to the age of the age of the children, the size of the group and the extent of their previous musical experience. Additional repertoire at the end of the books provides: extension work for pupils who reach the end of the book before the rest of their group; additional work for those who want it; and end of year concert pieces. Most importantly, these tutors make playing music fun, as it should be!
